Go to a top notch school where you major in finance, engineering, statistics, or economics. Something quantitative is what really matters.

While in undergrad work as hard as you can to get an internship in some type of operations role at a company that deals directly with the commodity you want to eventually trade some day. For example, for oil or gas try to land a scheduling role, something in confirmations/contracts, or something like it. If it is coffee try to find somewhere that will let you learn the ins and outs of physical coffee flows, etc.

When it comes to new hires they want them to have a strong academic background as well as a deep understanding about the actual product and market they will be working with.
